The Georgetown men’s basketball team is set to play six games that will tip off at 9 p.m., including the second game of the season at Maryland and in its Big East Conference opener Dec. 30 at DePaul, as part of its 2015-16 regular season schedule released Tuesday afternoon.
A highly anticipated showdown with the Terrapins comes Nov. 17 at Xfinity Center. The game is part of the first Gavitt Cup matching teams from the Big East and Big Ten conferences. It will be the first non-tournament regular season game between the schools since 1993.

The Badgers were the national championship game runners-up last season. The Hoyas will face either Duke or Virginia Commonwealth in their final game of the 2K Classic.
Their first Big East home game will take place Jan. 2 against Marquette. Georgetown has its longest conference home stand of the season with games against Seton Hall on Feb. 17, Xavier on Feb. 20 and Butler on Feb. 27. The Hoyas’ final two games of the regular season are at Marquette on March 1 and at Villanova on March 5.
